Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention was made in view of the problem in the above conventional technique, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a surface-emission unit in which a bonding part of a bonding resin is reduced, and irregularity in brightness is prevented from being generated.
[0020]According to the present invention, in the surface-emission unit which is composed of the light-emission element parts each having a light-emission element, aligned and arranged on a substrate two-dimensionally, and optical lenses each arranged on the substrate with respect to each light-emission element part, to diffuse light from the light-emission element, the support parts to fix the optical lens onto the substrate are arranged so as not overlap a line connecting the light-emission element part corresponding to the optical lens fixed by the support parts, to another light-emission element part adjacent to the light-emission element part. Thus, since the shadows generated when the support parts shield the light from the light-emission element do not overlap with each other, linear irregularity in brightness can be prevented from being generated in the region in which the support parts are arranged so as not to overlap the line.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, an amount of needed bonding resin increases.

first embodiment

[0035]FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a light-emission element module 1 used in a surface-emission unit in the present invention, on which a light-emission element is mounted. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken in a direction perpendicular to a substrate of the light-emission element module 1 to which this embodiment is applied. While a plurality of light-emission element parts 2 each having an LED as a light-emission element are arranged in one or more columns, on a substrate 11, FIG. 1 shows one focused light-emission element part 2. In addition, in the following drawings, an essential part is emphasized occasionally, and a dimension ratio of each component on the drawings does not always coincide with a real dimension ratio thereof.

[0036]The light-emission element part 2 is configured in such a manner that one or more LED chips (not shown) are mounted on a component substrate 3 made of ceramics or the like, and electrically connected to the component substrate 3 by a ...

second embodiment

[0049]Next, a description will be made of a method for producing the light-emission element module 1. FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing steps for producing the light-emission element module 1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0050]First, the light-emission element part 2, the substrate 11, and the optical lens 21 are prepared. Here, the substrate 11 is a resin substrate in which an epoxy resin and glass fiber are mixed, for example and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the substrate 11. The wiring 13 is formed on both surfaces of the substrate 11. The wiring 13 may be made of a material such as copper, nickel, or gold. The wiring 13 is composed of the land part 13a formed on one surface of the substrate 11 to mount the light-emission element part 2, and the wiring part 13b formed on both surfaces of the substrate 11. In addition, by providing the wiring part 13b on the whole other surface on which the light-emission element part 2 is not mounted, the radiation property of the substrate 11 is improve...

third embodiment

[0061]When the light-emission element module 1 can be used as a surface-emission unit used as a backlight of a liquid crystal television or a liquid crystal monitor, or a lighting equipment, by itself or combining a plurality of the same kind or different kind of light-emission element modules and connecting them in vertical and horizontal directions. In this surface-emission unit, a light emission region corresponding to a screen size can be ensured by arranging the light-emission element parts each having the light-emission element two-dimensionally in the shape of a matrix.

[0062]FIGS. 5 to 12 show configuration examples of the surface-emission unit, which show arrangement relationships among the light-emission element part 2, the optical lens 21, and the respective poles of the pole part 23 of the optical lens and the bonding resin 31. A description will be made of linear irregularity in brightness generated when the light-emission element is turned on, with reference to FIGS. 5 ...

Abstract

A surface-emission unit to prevent irregularity in brightness from being generated is provided. The surface-emission unit is composed of light-emission element parts each having a light-emission element, aligned and arranged on a substrate two-dimensionally, and optical lenses each arranged on the substrate with respect to each light-emission element part, to diffuse light from the light-emission element, and a support part to fix the optical lens onto the substrate is arranged so as not overlap a line connecting the light-emission element part corresponding to the optical lens fixed by the support part, to another light-emission element part adjacent to the light-emission element part.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This Nonprovisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 2009-166148 filed in Japan on 14 Jul., 2009 the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a surface-emission unit used in a backlight unit for a liquid crystal display device or a lighting equipment, and composed of a light-emission element module having a light-emission element, and a method for producing the same.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Since a liquid crystal display device such as a liquid crystal television or a liquid crystal monitor does not emit light from the liquid crystal itself, it needs a light source to emit light from a back surface for display. As the light source, a solid-state light-emission element such as a fluorescent tube or an LED (Light Emitting Diode) is used, and in either case, it n...
